SM-G386W custom recovery - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying to install a custom recovery on this phone for a while now. I have had no luck. There have been a couple of forum threads about rooting it but they don't help. When I flash TWRP recovery on to it it just boots into download mode. I don't know why it won't boot into custom recovery. Can anyone help me with this?
I uploaded all the files I have for it already. I got the stock recovery from a stock ROM.

Recovery problem..

when i install CWM in whichever color i like, the install is successful. when i boot into recovery for the first time, yes, the cwm recovery comes up. howver, any time after that when i boot into recovery i get the stock android recovery? Why? it is worthy to note that i am not rooted and im running 2.3.6 bell UNLOCKED bootloader.
Are you trying to use romracer's recovery? Or are you just installing CWM from the market? You might try flashing update.zip from stock recovery.
it happened to me when i tried flashing cwm for the first time !!
Then i tried flashing it with fastboot and it worked !!
try using fastboot commands with the recovery.img !!
rom racer's recovery is good but i myself use touch recovery !!

Cwm recovery installation help

Hey everyone.
So I have been trying to flash cwm recovery on my TELUS FASCINATE SGH-T959D so I can install a cyanogen mod. The problem is, every time I ODIN to stock, then flash cwm recovery (nothing happens), I get the connect phone to computer error IMG and it won't do anything but go into download mode. To fix it I flash back to stock, but still no cwm recovery. Rom manager doesn't flash cwm either.
I have looked everywhere but I am having absolutely no luck finding anything that works. Please help or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Recovery via Custom recovery when install rom fail?

Hi everyone, i'm gonna install a new rom for my s3, so i want to ask you sth before install it
First, if install stock rom via Odin fail, may i boot into custom recovery to recovery my android OS?
Second, if install cr via Odin fail, may i use my phone normally?
Last, if install rom fail, may i boot into custom recovery to recovery my android OS?
Sorry for asking to much, just because i have once installed stock rom via Odin fail and i too scared after that.
All things are flashed with Odin, including custom recovery so if you can't get that to work then nothing will happen.
Follow the guide in general forum sticky thread on how to flash with Odin, understand what you are doing before you start.

Is it ok to flash twrp over cwm or do i need to remove cwm first

Is it ok to flash twrp over cwm or do i need to remove cwm first. Hi i have been searching for this particular topic and found no definite answer. I am currently trying to flash blisspop rom on my phone and it says to use the latest twrp recovery. The problem is I have cwm installed on my phone. So my question is ok to flash twrp over cwm or set my default recovery to twrp
@onedaynerd: simply replace CWM with TWRP 2.8.6.1 by Odin. Ashame TWRP can't read/restore CWM-backups.

As far as I know, there will/can be only one recovery. Any recovery can be overwritten by the other. Just flash the new recovery and it automatically replaces the old one.
Example, If you are currently having CWM then boot into CWM recovery and flash the TWRP recovery zip file and reboot the device. Check the recovery by booting into recovery again. Now you will find TWRP as your recovery. CWM will be gone.
